73-80 Firewall Holes
 
Curious if I can get some help to label all the holes in the 73-80 firewall. I don't want to fill something I may need during assembly later on.

I'll update this posts as we can identify them.

1.-Dash Brace
2.-Throttle Pedal(3 hole cluster)
3.-Throttle cable(rectangular hole)
4.-Transmission kickdown grommet
5.-Tach grommet
6.-Dual Fuel Tank grommet
7.-Wiper Motor(larger hole + 3 mounting hole cluster)
8.-Wiring Harness Pass-through(square cut out + 2 mounting holes)
9.-Emergency Brake (2 hole cluster)
10.-Wiring grommet to cruise control, possibly other features
11.-Firewall insulation hold down

Not pictured or numbered is the e-brake cable exist which is in the bottom of the firewall, pointing straight down.

I appreciate everyone's help to get this filled out.

Thanks :metal:

If number 3 is a square hole it looks to be the throttle cable.

10 is cruise control on my 76. But its also used for other powered accessories in the engine compartment like dual battery etc. 11 is a firewall insulation hold down.

I dont think that was an option yet for '76...this cab is a '76 and didnt have a release cable.

4 is for TH400 kickdown grommet, 5 can be for tach grommet. 6 I think is for dual tank grommet.

Hi & thanks for posting the pic & info, very helpful! I do have a question about hole labeled #1. I have an 80 Jimmy that definitely has that hole, but nothing under the dash. Does anyone have a picture of the "Dash Brace" that's supposed to be there? Any help is much appreciated!
